The <br />full 2020 report along with the reports from past years can be found by <br />visiting the Water and Sewer Utility page under the Public Works <br />& Engineering tab on the City’s website at www.lakeelmo.org. Hard copies <br />of the report can be requested in the Administration Offices in Suite 100 of <br />the Brookfield II building at 3880 Laverne Ave. N. <br />Are you a private well owner in Lake Elmo? You may be eligible for a free, innovative water test for per- <br />and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Researchers from Indiana University and RTI International, a non- <br />profit research organization, seek private well owners to join their grant-funded research study. Participants <br />will receive a free, mail-out test kit along with instructions on how to collect water samples for an expanded <br />set of PFAS contaminants. After sample collection, participants will use a prepaid mailing label to return the <br />test kit to RTI’s Laboratory in Durham, NC. You will receive contaminant results in a clear manner. Later <br />this spring, researchers may mail study information to you, but you may still be eligible even if you do not <br />receive mailed materials. <br />To learn more, please visit our website at www.cleanwaterforUSkids.org/foreverchemicals or call (855)997-3184. <br />Water Rebate Program <br />The City of Lake Elmo, in partnership with the Metropolitan <br />Council, is offering a rebate program for the purchase of <br />eligible WaterSense Toilets and Smart Irrigation Controllers. <br />Qualifying toilet purchases are eligible for a $100 rebate on <br />your water bill, and purchases of a Smart Controller device <br />are eligible for a rebate of 90% of the cost of the device <br />(up to $200). <br />In 2020 the program accounted for over $8,000 in rebates and <br />the installed water saving devices are estimated to reduce water <br />usage by over 580,000 gallons annually! <br />This program is available only to City drinking water customers, <br />to participate in either rebate, purchase and install a qualifying <br />device, complete a rebate form and turn in your form and a copy <br />of your receipt.
